- Identify and prioritise operational risks
- Define prevention, response and recovery controls
- Test continuity arrangements before they are needed
What’s included
- A four‐part continuity cycle: Identify, Assess, Prepare, Test
- The Five Golden Rules of operational risk and business continuity, on one page

Best for
Owners and operations leaders identifying critical risks and continuity responses.
Expected practical outcome
Keep it proportionate. Name the risks that could genuinely disrupt the operation, assess them honestly, prepare plans that match the scale of the risk, and actually test the ones that matter most, rather than building an elaborate register for its own sake.
